How To Make Homemade Fresh Pasta
Learn how to make homemade pasta with my step-by-step guide. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create delicious and satisfying pasta right in your own kitchen.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups Flour type"00"
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1/2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
- Add the flour onto a large clean surface and make a well in the middle.
- Add the eggs, salt and olive oil to the well and gently beat with a fork.
- Slowly start mixing in the flour from the sides of the well into the egg mixture. Keep mixing until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky. If the dough is too dry, add a few drops of water at a time until it comes together. If too sticky, dust it with a little bit of flour.
- Knead the dough for about ten minutes, until it is smooth. Roll into a ball and cut it in half. Cover with a clean kitchen towel. You can allow it to rest for thirty minutes or you can continue right away. Without rest, the pasta will be a little bit firmer.
- Sprinkle flour onto the clean surface, flatten a dough half with your hands, and then run the dough through the pasta machine on the widest setting, three times.
- Run the dough through the pasta machine three times on the second widest setting, level 2, three times on level 3 and then one to two times on levels 4, 5, and 6, depending on your desired thickness.
- Sprinkle flour on both sides of the rolled out pasta dough sheet and cut the sheet at the desired length for your fettuccine.
- Run the pasta sheets through the pasta cutter on your pasta machine.
- Once you have made all of your pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the pasta until al dente. Keep in mind that fresh pasta cooks faster than dry pasta. Drain the pasta and serve with your favorite sauce.
